Ascomycota, also known as cup fungi, are a diverse group of fungi found in various locations around the world. In Uplyme, Devon, England, the Scarlet elf cup fungus (Sarcoscypha coccinea) adds a vibrant touch to the woodland floor. Meanwhile, in Burgenland, Austria, Ergot (Claviceps purpurea) thrives and creates an eerie atmosphere with its dark purple appearance. Moving on to Buckinghamshire, England in October, the Candlesnuff fungus (Xylaria hypoxylon) emerges like charred candles amidst fallen leaves, and is joined by another Scarlet elf cup fungus among Opposite-leaved golden-saxifrage - a beautiful sight indeed. Venturing further into Danum Valley in Sabah Borneo reveals Cookeina sp Cup fungi growing on decaying logs. Their intricate shapes and colors bring life to the forest floor. In Penn Wood, Buckinghamshire during November stands Jelly babies fungus (Leotia lubrica), resembling tiny sweets scattered across mossy ground. Paraquilegia microphylla surprises us by growing in rock fissures alongside crustose lichen - showcasing nature's ability to adapt and thrive even in challenging environments. Corcovado National Park unveils Cookeina sp Cup fungus flourishing on decaying wood beneath towering rainforest trees. In Clare Glen Tandragee County Armagh lies yet another Scarlet elf cup fungus (Sarcoscypha coccinea), spreading its scarlet beauty along riverbanks. The Bay cup fungus (Peziza badia) graces Peak District National Park Derbyshire UK with its distinctive shape and earthy tones during September. Lastly but not leastly is the Puffin (Fratercula artica), perched upon rocks covered with orange sea lichen (Caloplaca marina).
